Huh
these are pretty surprising news! Good to know...

But, has Caspar said, it depends on the center of gravity and other stuff, so you can not say that all other planes are incorrect. I think in the spitfire manual it says, after flaps, aply trim down, but not sure, i will check that one.

In real life, on Spitfire, flaps are only used to take-off and land.
When you take-off or land, trims must be in neutral position...

Using the Full Mission Builder (FMB), the rivers seem to be lower or not there at all. I guess the veriable for the sea level is lower than what it was in 4.10.1m

I've attached 3 Jpg photos for you to see.

Map: Normandy 3. Look at Caen and Le Harve, the river is smaller or not there and the harbour is less. See my photos for details.

Normandy map 3 is only one example, it happens on all maps.

Found the solution. Set the graphics to use Direct X instead of Open GL. Open GL mixes up the landscape squares.

Looks like a driver issue. OpenGL is generally the better choise for IL-2.

Not for me at the moment (using Radeon HD6970), the graphics just go funny in OpenGL, I suspect it's a driver issue.

Was recently playing offline QMB, MTO map. I was flying a German aircraft from the island base as it was shelled by a Soviet destroyer and gunboat.

I love the scenario of a shore bombardment but would suggest exchanging Soviet warships for at least somewhat more historically plausible objects that already exist in game:

a. American destroyers
b. American cruiser Indianapolis
c. Surfaced American submarine (idea works better at night)
d. British battleships
e. American battleship

I also would not object to the introduction of new ships that actually served in the Med for this role. British/French cruisers and destroyers perhaps?

Cheers!

Looks like one of the typical problems when newer drivers for Ati cards are used. They are causing all kinds of problems in Il-2.

If you are using an Ati card, download this older atioglxx file, put it in the Il-2 main folder and start the game in Open GL mode:

Uh oh. I think this has been around for a bit, but even with NO FUEL, the ramjets on the B1-6 offer unlimited power.

Yikes.
They never run out of gas.
